LRT (liquid restaking token)
LRTliquid restaking
A receipt token wrapping an LST that has been restaked via EigenLayer to secure additional services.
Examples: weETH (Etherfi), eETH, rsETH (Kelp), pufETH (Puffer), ezETH (Renzo). Yield ≈ ETH staking + restaking fees minus fees. Risks compound: ETH staking risk + LST smart-contract risk + EigenLayer slashing exposure across AVSs.
